>AC tech in NYC who makes the equivalent of a Google salary

My immediate thought was "thats crazy, capitalism is out of whack"

My second thought was realizing I couldn't rationalize Google salaries either. I could imagine a parallel universe where they make less than civil/mechanical engineers (~$160 TC). Supply and demand I guess.




It’s easy to rationalize Google TC by looking at their balance sheet. Thanks to the work of Google employees it basically prints money. It’s only fair that they share in this success, since if Google could find someone cheaper, it would.


It takes a lot of money to get people to compromise their morals. That's why wall street has to pay so well, and I think it's the same for ad tech.
